Estimating the Corn Crop by
Acres.

A Tribune Special from Kansas city Gays
Advlces have been received from correspond
.nts who have personally examined over
700 900 acres Of growing corn in Kansas,
Arkansas, Missouri and Nebraska along the
lines of TIL X nsas City, Fort Scott and Cult
Sbuthern X 4nsss, Atkinson. Topeka and Santa
Fe. Missouri Pacific, Chicago, Burlin gton
aud z liucy, Union Pacific. Wabash, and
Kansas Pacific railroads There have been
Reports made from 500 points along these
roads and the result will be a good estimate
of the entire cora crop of these States.
Along the line of the Fort Scott and Gulf
railroad, 900 acres give general average
of sixty-seveu and one half bushels to the
acre: 600 900 acres along the Wabash and
Missouri p.c tic average fifty five bushels
500. 900 acres an the Union Pacific average
so bushels; 600 600 acres along the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe average twenty FIVE
bushels 80, 600 acres along the Southern
Kansas will average thirty bushels; 20, 900
acres on the Kansas Pacific average thirty
live bushels; 1000 600 acres along the
Missouri Pacific aud Chicago, Burlington and
Q lincy along the upper Missouri river
average fifty bushels. Heavy rains for the
last twenty four hours have been general
throughout the entire corn belt. Drouth and
hot winds in Kansas have materially reduced
the prospects of all late corn, in some places
making it almost unfit for fodder. The
acreage throug bout the belt has been increased
about one fifth. The ost crop through the
region reported from will be about two thirds
of an aversge yield.

The Dominion Governments policy
with regard to The Canadian Pacific road
has not only checked the growth of the
northwest settlements, but has even driven
hundreds of useful settlers from that re
gion into the United States. The govern
ment will make great blunder it it shall
attempt to make good these losses by
encouraging theimmgraton OF Mormons.
No one outside Of the Mormon church in
this country would shed any tears il the
one hundred Latter-Day Saints of Salt
Lake Civ who ask the Dominion Govern
ment for homesteads near Medicine Hat
should obtain them, or even if thousands
of their associates should lin them in that
region. But a glance at the history of our
long conflict with the polygamists of
Utah will probably convince the Dominion
Government that it cannot afford to
..assist" immigration of this kind.

If mutiated money is redeemable. 1t is
safe TO say, unless The moneys identity is en-

one may say that money in the shape of
ashes can be restored. 1t is fact that after

hanks to do money up in packages, say of
$40, GOO each, asd in the big fire of course
hundreds and hundreds of these packages
were reduced to ashes. But the shape of the
package remained, and wherever the package
could be sent on to Washington without
crumbing the ashes the money was sure to
be replaced. 1t was d)ne by nimble fingered
woman in the Treasury Department whose
trained touch and sight are wonderfully
acute. 1t is well known that the ashes of
newspaper if dampened will show traces of
the printing So was it with the bills These
women would moisten the package of appar-
emily useless ashes. and to their experienced
eye the number and character of the bill
would at once appear rs if they had touched
it with a magic wand. So thousands and
thousands of dollars were redeemed by these
patient women. A friend of mine, a country
merchant. afraid Of banks. placed a large
sum Of money in bills in stone jar on
shelf, in his store, where he thought it
would be quite safe. When he went to look
at it one day some time after,it was mess of
fragments Mice had got into the jar and
chewed the bills into the mnutest parts.
Then they had mixed them all up, aud alto
Gether it was fearful looking mess. He
sent cigar box full of III me. forwarded
it to Washington. and what do you think?
Out of the Sl.l45 originally in the pile,
little over 81 900 was redeemed, the parts
beyond recall berg only the mere fbres of
the bills. So the man lost only 800 by his
foolishness The reclamation of such money
is done entirely by women, whose patience
especially fi,s them tor the monotonous work.
